Case studies · YouTube unboxings per claim

Five creators, five lots, five YouTube embeds.

Third-party-creator unboxings of every Grubstake SKU, tied to the specific claim state the bag shipped from (AK, CO, GA, NC, ID). Each card embeds the YouTube creator on camera, names the SKU and the bag’s state stamp, and links straight to the matching lab certificate PDF and the per-state where-to-pan entry. Founder fills in the YouTube IDs as each creator publishes; the rest of the page is fully wired.

Placeholder copy

Awaiting real YouTube IDs.

5 case-study slots are in place, one per claim state, but every embed videoEmbedId is the 11-A placeholder until the founder swaps a permanent YouTube ID into src/lib/case-studies/data.ts. Each card carries a founderSlot field flagged for replacement so grep [FOUNDER: finds every placeholder.
